By five weeks post launch, 57 of the 60 satellites had been "healthy" while 3 were non-operational and derelict, but deorbited due to atmospheric drag. [32] All working satellites were intentionally deorbited by May 2021, and all remaining failed spacecraft re-entered by October 2022. [4] 2 Launch 1 [33] v1 2019-074 11 November 2019, 14:56 [34]

The satellites were launched by a Falcon 9 rocket, and they were piggy-pack payloads launching with the Paz satellite. Tintin A and B were inserted into a 514 km (319 mi) orbit. Per FCC filings, [ 341 ] they were intended to raise themselves to a 1,125 km (699 mi) orbit, the operational altitude for Starlink LEO satellites per the earliest ...
The first satellites were designed for the Space Development Agency and outfitted with advanced infrared sensors meant to detect and track ballistic and hypersonic missiles. [13] In 2021, Starshield had entered a $1.8 billion classified contract with the U.S. government, revealed in 2023, [ 1 ] to construct hundreds of spy satellites for ...
The satellites were intended to test Distant retrograde orbit. [33] Tracking data appears to show China is attempting to salvage spacecraft and they appear to have succeeded in reaching their desired orbit. [34] [35] China: Queqiao-2: Moon: Success
